Far manager
far manager is a terminal file manager. It was nice, but I have since replaced it with vifm (which works both for unix, and windows).
Far Manager is an extendable file manager that supports mouse integration.
It is very awesome.

Far Settings:
%appdata%/Roaming/Far Manager/ProfilefarManager 3 database location farManager/Documentation/eng/TechInfo.txt http://farmanager.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/docs/ENG/TechInfo.txtfarManager 3 registry key list + explanations (useful for finding database entries) Far was originally saved all of it's settings in the windows registry. Much of far's \ documentation still points to the registry, or the use of xml \ files to temporarily load registry files when far 3 is run. This is not the case. \ far3 and all of it's plugins stores their configuration info in SQLite3 databases.
